Plugins for pycharm code#
The key pain points P圜harm solved for me where robust code intel tools, better Python application run and debug support, with traceback clicking.
Conclusion and the futureĪfter a few weeks I found myself using P圜harm for most of my programming needs. But it did not work for my py.test and splinter browser tests, as it seems to behave differently than virtualenv’ed tests launched from command line. P圜harm has an integrated unit test runner. P圜harm has an integrated terminal and run window, though it has shortcomings and doesn’t seem to behave like a real terminal. This makes digital nomading much more fun when you are fighting over the single available power plug in a hostel on a remote island. It disables background tasks like code intel which are CPU intensive for large projects. Though Sublime Text has plugins for this, the Sublime Text plugin API offers only very limited UI interaction and you cannot, for example, color files in the project explorer based on their edit status. P圜harm has more robust integrated version control support (Git, SVN).

It’s very handy if you want to write high quality software with meaningful comments and API descriptions. P圜harm does background spellchecking of written text and Python docstrings. Though I could not change it to format the import as I want – one import statement per line. In P圜harm I just hit alt+enter on a missing symbol and it got added as the import at the beginning of the file.

Sublime Text plugins have their own incompatible settings and need a lot of manual package installation ( pip install flake8, etc). With Sublime Text you need to play around with a lot of plugins to get decent autocomplete. P圜harm shows the path to the current file as interactive navigation barĪutocomplete, autoimport and other code intel and refactoring tools work better in P圜harm. Reminds me of those Windows EXE installers. On the other hand I found P圜harm’s plugin installer to be more cumbersome to use – more clicks. Sublime Text Package Control is not built in, making the initial adoption more of a hassle. Sublime Text and P圜harm bot have an integrated plugin manager.
Feature highlights both in Sublime Text and P圜harm There are also other well-known options for Python development, including PyDev (LiClipse), Komodo IDE and WingWare IDE. This is possible because the active Sublime Text community provides tools to optimize your development workflow – namely to support autocomplete, syntax highlighting and background linting and various programming languages. Though Sublime Text is not an IDE per se, many Python and JavaScript developers I know use it as “development platform”. The community edition is 100% open source.
Plugins for pycharm license#
A P圜harm license costs 199 EUR / year (professional), 99 EUR / year (individual) and there is also free community edition. P圜harm shares most of the features with other IDEA family IDEs, which means it has robust HTML, JavaScript and CSS support. P圜harm is developed by the Czech company JetBrains, which has over 400 employees. First P圜harm was released 2010, but the IDE codebase goes all way back to IntelliJ IDEA which was released as far back as 2001 – I remember doing Java development on IntelliJ in 2004. P圜harm is a child of JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA family of editors. Unless you purchase a license you’ll be notified by a nagging dialog. Though its development slowed down at some point, as Sublime Text has been mostly a one man show, new Sublime Text builds roll out now regularly. Currently Sublime Text version 3 is in beta. Its major selling points are speed, powerful code text editing features (multicursor), cross platform support, customizations and plugin ecosystem. Sublime Text is a commercial programmer’s text editor in development since 2008.
But times change, hardware gets more powerful and it was time for me to reconsider my decision. I tried P圜harm long time ago and I was dissatisfied – P圜harm is built on Java software stack and UI issues, alongside “Java software bloat”, were a major turn off for me. A few weeks ago, I decided to make a shift from Sublime Text 3 to P圜harm as my primary tool for typing in code on OSX. I have been developing Python for a decade now in various environments.
